"Hi! I‘m following you on Instagram for a long time and I really feel kind of inspired by your work! After having the amazing Leica Q I now think about doing the next step and getting a Leica M. As you too wear glasses I really would like to know if you had ever had any bigger issues with focussing on the M?"

"I just thought I would like to say I have found two of your recent articles particularly enjoyable and instructive - not least read in combination. The "Composition - what lens are you?" was relevant to some struggles with a recently acquired X2 where the focal length feels strange, and the article, and especially the images, from page 20 of your never-ending M9 review made me feel "Yes, 50mm is more my lens for a fixed prime." This was just a brief thank you."

"I'm new to the Leica system, my first digital, an M 240 arrives Friday. I really appreciate your blog reviews and passion for Leica. I have found your website to be a big help with getting a good feel for Leica. Now when my wife gets mad that I bought a Noctilux f/0.95 I'm totally blaming you."

"Thank you for your YouTube videos. I appreciate having access to your thoughts, and I agree with your philosophy about the camera being a tool for getting the right exposure and therefore other things don't belong on the body! I am shooting medium format film at present."
